====================== PONG KOMBAT v1.0 FAQ Revision 2 April 14, 1994 ====================== Alright here it is, my first completed FAQ. If you want to receive the latest PK FAQ list there is info at the bottom. This FAQ can also be downloaded for Andy Eddy's FAQ FTP site at (netcom.com) in the directory (pub\vidgames\faqs). Well that's all I can think of writing so CYA L8R! ========================================================================= STAGE FATALITIES On the Pit stage, hit DOWN-DOWN-DOWN-DOWN as your fatality to send the opponent flying. On the Toxic River stage, hit UP-UP-DOWN-DOWN as your fatality to dunk them in acid. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SPAMALITIES Secret fatality move... BUTTON+BUTTON+BUTTON+UP. Turns your opponent into bratwurst. MUST have a flawless victory to execute. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PADDLE ABILITIES Secret moves and fatalities for each paddle. ---------- RED PADDLE ---------- ZAPPER : Shadow Paddle (DUBB) FATALITY : Rips victim in two, spew, spew. (DDDB) ENDING : Becomes a movie success, but is deformed horribly and now works as a supervillian. ----------- BLUE PADDLE ----------- ZAPPER : Phase Ball (BBBB) FATALITY : Opponent paddle spirals down to the center of the screen, then goes SPLUT! (UBUB) ENDING : Tries to market a PK computer game, but makes it requre too much power and goes bankrupt. (Semi-subtle Srigin slam) ------------- YELLOW PADDLE ------------- ZAPPER : Sine Wave (UDUD) FATALITY : Dig Dug air pump explosion (DUDU) ENDING : Drinks himself into oblivion. They can't ALL be happy endings. ------------ GREEN PADDLE ------------ ZAPPER : Arrow (UDUB) FATALTY : Shoots an arrow which impales paddle on side of screen. (DUDB) ENDING : Retires and becomes an award-winning novelist who writes recursive books. ------------- PURPLE PADDLE ------------- ZAPPER : Spinning Razor (UUUB) FATALITY : Razor slides behind the paddle... paddle falls into two long slices. (BUUU) ENDING : Takes over the world and causes armageddon. ========================================================================= OTHER THINGS ------------------ TO ACCESS DIP MODE ------------------ Type 'pongkomb DIP' to start the game. If you have a frame-rate change already stacked on the parameter line, use 'pongkomb speed x DIP'. Alter the switches with up and down on the keypad. Left and right selects a switch, and space leaves the screen. Switch flips aren't saved after you quit Pong Kombat. DIP SWITCHES and what they do. 1-comic advert on/off (default : off) Turns on and off the ad for FWLS Komiks and short stories. I installed the feature back when it looked like Komik would be out before Pong Kombat. No release date is set due to a NASTY bug. 2-fatality check on/off (default : on) Turns the blood on or off, except for Purple's weapon, which is drawn-in. I had to install this to qualify Pong Kombat as a school project. Kids, violence is evil. Bad! Bad! Stomp out violence! Kill all violent people! Maim! Dest... umm. But I digress. 3-taunts on/off (default : on) Shut Monolith up by clicking this to OFF. He can be annoying. 4-extra credits on/off (default : off) Flipping this on adds some more scanned photos of the staff that worked on the game to the end of the credits. Credits are shown after White Paddle's demise. 5-white first on/off (default : off) Turning this switch on will fast-forward the tournament mode right to white paddle. I used this to test the ending sequence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- PONG KOMBAT SECRETS SECRET CHARACTERS There are two major secret characters in the game, Monolith, and Shifter. Shifter gives no clues like Monolith does. ----------------- TO FIGHT MONOLITH ----------------- He speaks of a few clues, but here's the whole story... every now and then on a missed ball, Nick Steele pops out and goes 'WHOOPSIE!'. If he does this on the Portal stage, press DOWN and your BUTTON. You must press these AFTER!!!! the speech clip finishes... there is a split second timing type thing. There will be an evil laugh, and Nick will vanish. At the end of the match, win or lose, the last person to down+button to Nick gets to fight Monolith. There is a one in ten chance of Nick showing on a lost ball. Monolith almost never misses a shot, and has large, fast-moving stars as weapons. He is relatively hard to kill. ---------------- TO FIGHT SHIFTER ---------------- On the Throne Room stage, execute a SPAMALITY. Spamalities are the sequence BUTTON, BUTTON, BUTTON, UP after the announcer yells 'FINISH HIM!'. There will not be a siren, but the screen will clear and your opponent is turned into two slabs of luncheon meat. Notice that the tablecloth is the same pattern as the toilet bowl water. (NOTE : Spamalities REQUIRE a flawless victory, or else nothing will happen.) Shifter blends into his background and NEVER misses a shot. His weapons are extremely hard to see, fly quite fast, and quite often. He is insanely hard to kill, but if you're good enough to get a spamality, you're probably close enough... ========================================================================= This FAQ was produced by Sir Psycho Internet Address: dingdong@halcyon.com psycho@seanews.akita.com The information within is by Stefan Gagne Internet Address: gagne@locust.cic.net gagne@etext.org =======================================================================
